WAR RECORDS.

The last General Assembly authorized the
Volunteers in the war of the rebellion and
the procuring from the general government
of the records of service of Connecticut SOL
diers in the previous wars of the nation.
Satisfactory progress has been made in
this work and records of great value, as evil
dence or reference, are becoming the proper
erty of the State.

AGRICULTURE.

The different institutions supported in
whole or in part by State appropriation are
working together in harmony, and seem to be
doing all that could reasonably be expected.
The secretary of the board of agriculture re-
ports that the question of the title to the
StorIs school proper ty has been satisfactorily
settled. Since the last report the Agricul-
tural experiment station has been largely en-
gagged in the examination of commercial fer
tilizers and feeding stuffs, and in the ANALYSIS
ofsswhat was suspected to be imitation butter;
a suspicion which, in most of the cases,
proved to be well founded. Imitation may
not always be deception, but deception in
matters of food is invariably fraud, and in
this analysis and detection the station has
doae excellent and needed work, for frauds
in food touch the very life of the people.
It is probable thet for some of the agricul-
tural institutions of the State You will be
asked to vote increased appropriations. The
odium of class legislation cannot justly fall
on any action of yours that shall be wisely
exerted to throw needed light on a pursuit,
the proserity of which forms the basis of all
other pursuits. In what direction, and to
what extent, State aid should be given many
and perhaps most of you, from your calling
in life, are specially fitted to know. Your
action will follow intelligent and free discus
sion, and the soundness of your conclusions
cannot well be doubted.

A fire broke out in tho Oriental hotel

The alarm was given, and u bucket

fire was extinyushcd. An eye witness
says it was the finest work he oyer saw

citelnent was uuieted down, jim Church,
while making Il circuit of the rooms, dis

place in tho room. jacobson had made

A New York Book Agent.

A distinguished belle is book
agent, and she has in ten or twelve
days made herself singularlv famous
down town. Her method is mar
vel of skill, aided by natural advant-
ages. The latter consists of the abil-
ity to shed tears at will. / don't
know how she does it, but she does.
At precisely the time and place tor
tears to be of value they drop from
her eyes and trickle down her cheeks.
Perhaps there is something the mat
ter with her tear ducts, but il there
is, | doubt if she wonld care to be
cured. She has been fooling the
brokers especially. She enters an
office quietly but firmly, and, with
no circumlocution, tells the boss that
she wishes him to buy a book. He
says no, unhesitatingly and perhaps
GROSSLY. Then she turns on the tears.
"What's the matter? 2" he asks.
ooh, nothing ofany consequence,
she replies, making toward the door.
But he alphabetically begs her to
voice her grief; whereupon she tells
that she has been unable to sell a
book that day, that her poor old
mother is dependent upon her, and
that she is downright discouraged.
He purchases one or more books in
stantly, and does not learn until sew.
eral days later, by chance, that SIZE
has played the same softening game

Provide plenty of shelter and pro-
lection for the cattle. As one has
truly said: 1t is worse than folly to
feed $500 worth Of grain and hay to
keep up a warmth that 80 per cent
of that sum invested in sheds and
windbreaks, would more than pre-.
serve. Those who are able ought
to have good stock barns. There is
nothing so valuable as a building of
this character. A good barn is an
absolute necessity for good farming
and successful stock raising. And
there will never he q better time
than now to build q barn. Stock
does not want to be kept so close in
winter as that it should be well ven
tilated and kept very clean. But all
stock should be kept from getting
chilled for that condition means the
waste of grain and danger to the
health We feel that it would be so
much Of repetition to urge once
more that some sort of green food
should be provided as part Of the
winter food, that we hesitate to say
anything about it. And yet it is of
so much importance that we will
venture the suggestion that in some
way, by purchase if in no other way,
roots be provided for your stock. 1t
will be money in the stockman's
pocket.

She Didn't Appreciate Him.

The funny man wrote him a humor- ous joke and he thought the wit was immense. and he chuckled A big phenomenal stroke An. this is genius intenser' For wit was so rolick- ing, weird and wild and of such origi- nal power he lay down and rolled in the grass like child. and laughed for nearly an hour. Then he took the joke to read to his wife. and said. ''Now, wife, listen and hear the fun niest joke you have heard in your fife, 1 prithee wheel toward me thine ear" He began to read with lusty strenl th, and her face wh ch was round as a squash it stretched to q cucum Der length as she saId, What bosh! what bosh!" And when he came to the point of the joke. he burst in loud cuffaw but she said, in words like d thunder stroke, What miserable trash, Oh pshawm Then her face grew long as baseball bat and as black as the oven door, and her forehead stretched up through her towering hat. and her chin tralled on the floor But the joke went forth in the world wide throng and was copied OCT and O CT, but thereafter her face remained so long that she couldn't go through the door!- Yankee Blade.
